You would have to wonder, if FR was around during the 1980’s, how many would have thrown Reagan under the bus for bailing out the S&L’s.

Probably all too many -- especially since it was Bush I who bailed them out and not Reagan.

Thanks, I didn't realize. Reagan injected funds into the FSLIC, but the big bailout came later. Making the comparison between TARP1, TARP2, etc., even more apt.
